I work as a development engineer/ toolmaker and forty years ago i had it drummed into my head by all of the old boys that taught me, about attention to detail. That advice has stood me in very good stead every day of my working life. I look forward to these films every week, its part of my sunday evening ritual to relax before the Monday to Friday stress fest.
IMHO, The Dino is one of the most pleasing shapes for a car ever conceived. It’s so wonderful there are still experts around that know how to properly care for, and love these beautiful machines. Congratulations to the entire team that has worked of this project. Absolutely amazing work by brilliant craftsmen.
Couldn’t agree more. My fave is the 275GTB then this. Worked at a Shell Station next to Newport Imports in the early 70’s. These were about $8k. I was making like $2 an hour.
What a way to end the year!!! This makes my TOP 5 of TCWS 2023. Can't wait for 2024 ..... Thank you very much to Iain, Pete, Craig, James and the other brilliant team members at the Workshop. Happy new year to all
Watching and hearing you explain the restoration is probably as good as driving it. Thanks for the passion, lovely work and care you put into cars. Always a gift to watch these videos.
Never in my life would I ever expect to listen to someone explain the smallest detail of a wiper blade. Then, to put into perspective just how important that detail is. No one has matched Ian's ability to capture your intrigue!
A very happy New Year to you Iain Tyrrell. I do hope King Charles gives you a Knighthood in the New Year’s Honours List. Your contribution to the World of Automobiles is beyond my ability to describe. Every video of yours on RUclips is so solidly informative and couched with that lovely polite, understated sense of humour and wealth of expression, they are an absolute JOY to watch and learn from! Thank you ever so much for that! Long may you continue to teach us all.
I remember seeing one in a garage in Harrogate around 1972. It was £7,000, I had just spent £2850 on my first house! Thank you Iain and a happy NewYear from Wisconsin, USA, I get immense enjoyment from your channel.
I was born in a small town in western Kansas and, amazingly, one of the local people had one of these Dinos. He'd even participate in the usual Friday/Saturday night cruises up and down our main street, right past my house.
As a youngster in 1968, while going to university, I worked the late shift at JFK for a cargo Airline called Seaboard World. One night one of our stretch DC8's arrived from Europe with a cargo that included three pallets loaded with three Dino's (red, yellow, blue/black). It was dark, I had no idea what they were, but the overhead lights let me see enough to convince me that these might be the most beautiful machines my young self had ever seen. To this day, next to the GTO's and Boxers, I believe the Dino was and is a most magnificent 'Ferrari". It's a pleasure to watch you and your very talented team work your magic. Happy New Year....from NYC.
I just found out that Iain and his colleagues work just a few miles away from where I live and cannot believe I’ve driven past their palace of perfection so unwittingly. I truly hope that someday I might have the pleasure of having them work on a classic of my own but doubt I’ll live long enough or be wealthy enough for that to happen. However, thank you for your insightful video stories and hope springs eternal🙂. Happy new year to all.
Some years ago I finally got to enjoy a drive (at full song 😁) in a red Ferrari Dino 246 Gt. I will always remember this as the Dino is and remains my dream car. I know I will never be able to afford one but at least I can say I have had a drive in one. Truely special. This Dino’s restoration is simply stunning. it’s such a jewel of a car. Well done to you and your team Iain. 👍
Well Iain - your love for details is just adorable and your respect for old parts to stay with the maximum authenticity and rescue whatever is possible to rescue too! From me the best wishes for 2024 to you, your family, all the wonderful persons from your staff and there families and your company!
Years ago, I used to design systems for searching databases of patents. When I made marketing materials and presentations I habitually chose windscreen wiper blades as the example inventions. This was a cunning plan to remind our potential clients of our products whilst they were driving home in the rain. It also helped that wipers had some of the prettiest artwork in the patents. Windscreen wipers need more coverage, they have remarkable ingenuity and design in them. Happy New Year to you all and looking forward to seeing more restorations.
It is all about the details with these cars. Lucky we have some like you ,Ian and crew, to keep these cars on the road representing their former glory when new.
I admire your attention to detail, also the knowledge you have, that allows you to know what is and is not correct. The car is absolutely stunning, the only thing missing, was hearing the engine running.
Amazing he buys parts from Superformance which offers the correct CAVIS cross carburettor fuel hoses yet Ian chooses to use black rubber hose here. A bit of an odd choice?
A great year end video. Thanks for all the super content in 2023, Iain. Your attention to detail and the skill of your team is really something to behold and to see youngsters coming through to learn the skills to look after these gorgeous machines is fantastic. Your customers are very lucky people. Happy New Year.
I was a 21-year-old visiting Italy in late 1972 and had my heart on renting a Dino from Hertz (yes, Hertz rented Dino's in Rome back then). Cost for a day would have been about a hundred dollars which was a bargain, in my mind, for being given the chance to drive what i thought was the most beautiful car in the world. Miuras and 275GTBs aside. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be as I was informed at the rental counter that the minimum age for the Dino rental 25. Fifty one years later, I still love this car.
Love the wiper story! And the number plate insight. My mate's dad in St Helen's had a 246 in the 1970's (an 'L' plate...as did our family dentist - a 'K' plate! (Two red beauties in the same Lancashire town). I drooled over them as a boy. And very much looked forward (!) to going to the dentist.
It's the attention to smallest of details, when combined with encyclopedic knowledge (such Mr. Tyrrell's wiper blade obsession) that make the difference between the competent and the truly exceptional... It's an admirable thing to watch, like Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Car or David Grainger from The Guild. Absolute masters, commanding teams of absolute masters, producing the highest quality of work on the most high stakes of historic machines. They never make it look easy, but you can see where the money goes when commissioning work from shops like that.
Watching from Denmark. I love this/your channel. Ians attention to detail, knowledge, passion, insight and of course the excellent job done to these very beautyfull cars. But actually even more.... the audio. Years ago I was on a guided bus tour from London to Bath/Stonehenge.The guides spoken english and voice was music to my ears. This gives me the same pleasent feeling. Having had my share of horrrible bosses, it warms my heart to watch Ians interaction with and praise of his staff. This IS the way to be and do it.
Iain, you’re a man after my own heart. I think someone well known in the car industry long ago once said ‘Get the details right, and the money will look after its self’ ! How true that still is … mostly… Thank you for sharing with us ! Super stuff !
The details do make the difference. A few years ago I had moved from Toronto to Heidelberg and was in the process of placing an order for a 911. On a trip back to Toronto I stopped into a Porsche dealer and asked a salesman to recommend options that his customers valued. He told me to order, among other things, the aluminum look fuel filler cap. I did and every time I visit a petrol station and open the fuel flap I have to smile at this little gem. Keep up the good work Iain, you’re a dying breed of craftsman that keeps us connected to a time when doing things the right way was the only way.
A Happy New Year to you Mr. Iain, from South Dakota! I am currently restoring a '76 GT/4. Returning the color from "resale red" back to original Nocciola, (copper/gold). The little car has 99,909 miles, the work celebrates the next 100,000 miles!! ❤
Through and through inside and out that car is immaculate. What a team you have Ian / Iain. Thank you and your teammates for all the work you do and your running commentary.
Thank you, Iain. All the best for 2024 to you and your team, aways wonderful to watch at work, always a pleasure to witness the care and attention to detail and originality.
"Detail matters, and so does knowledge" such deadpan delivery but one of the most marvelous put-downs to the lack of attention to detail prevalent in the industry. More fabulous content and the restoration looks incredible. I imagine the new owner is absolutely delighted - he made a wise choice to put it in your hands Iain.
What a pleasant surprise this Saturday morning showcasing a gorgeous car. Mr. Tyrrell keep it up, who would have thought that learning about wiper blades would be so interesting. Your enthusiasm over the nerdy bits makes me smile every time, thank you.
This is a beautiful car - and it is so much better than new! I know them as they were new (Dinos were a common sight in Austria back then) and the building quality was quite bad. A friend of the family worked with car electrics and had always funny storys of these to tell... (it anybody thinks British cars of the 70 were the worst: they could compete with Dinos!) Panels without paint on the inside for example - that's why they rusted so bad. Dinos were used as a daily driver and after the first winter the troubles started. As you said: Ferraris were not build to last 50 years. But: not this example. This will take the next 50 years without troubles! Amazing work, thank you for sharing this story with us! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
My god you did a fantastic job this is one of the most beautiful cars ever build and you have contributed to it's awesomeness by restoring it like this
Brilliant as always Iain. What a restoration! Just perfect. Another tribute to you and your team. Happy New Year to you all, thank you for all the wondeful videos this year, please keep them coming.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to you, your family and crew 🎄🎁🎅 This Dino is coming together stunningly brilliantly with all intricate attention to the deepest of details. Just mind boggling. Any car restoration project indeed never ever is a matter of putting some Lego kit together to begin with. You're not alone in noticing modern wiper blades on a classic. They should be as per original. Especially if the original casings were chrome or nickel to match the trim around the windscreen and-or were just a sign of the times, black ones just obviously distractingly comes across as a faux pas. Thank you so much for taking us along on this Dino project.
I agree with your review of the wipers. I have viewed many worthy car restorations that have been compromised by the use of modern and inappropriate wipers assemblies. The worst part is the said component is 'front and centre' when you view the car.
Another fantastic video, I’m a great believer in using classic cars but to be honest if I was fortunate enough to own that beauty I’d put it in my lounge and just look at it…! This is without a doubt my utube channel of choice, many thanks for sharing your knowledge and giving us the chance to view the superb vehicles that pass through your workshop.
I remember a period during the '80s when the Dino was commonly considered to be the unwanted stepchild of the Ferrari family whereby it was consequently available on the used car market for a relative pittance.
The quality of this resto just looks exceptional! The 246 Dino isn't my favourite Ferrari but I would say you lot have earned your break over Christmas. All the best to you and your team and I look forward to seeing what you have for us next year...
You tuned me right in with your comment about period correct radios and we are absolutely on the same frequency… I spent ages getting the right radios for my ‘68 Caravelle and ‘77 VW cabrio and correcting the butchery of modern upgrades. My ‘51 Ford still has its (working) valve radio. Great episode, and Happy New Year, looking forward to more in ‘24!
I love original period radios and can never understand why anyone would want to upgrade them. They are part of the "soul" of the car. My 1973 Mercedes has its original Becker radio cassette. It all works and suits music of the era.
Glad you mentioned the Blaupunkt radio....they were so far ahead of the game in the late 60s and early 70s..They had FM and also a tape feed in the rear which you can easily feed in as MP3 feed...so ideal for today..50+s years later...and look great...
Thann be la for sharing this video update Iain. Regarding the factory stereo, I would want the original as well, at all costs. Totally agree with the owner.🙏🏻🏁
This is amazing concours level restoration, Iain. You and your team did a stellar job. Is the owner planning on showing it? Can't imagine he/she will be taking it on cross continent trip, or even local Cars and Coffee. Many times nicer than when it left the factory floor.
If there will ever be a time I can afford such a wonderful classic car, this would be the only place I would trust it to. Thanks for yet another amazing film to sooth our souls.
This might be World Best Dino now. The decison is very hard to begin to use it, especially in an environment like northern Europe. Congratulations, a gigantic success.A small question mark is for me the sound of those stainless exhausts, that NEVER sound like the originals.I wonder why nobody redoes them in the original metal, coated to perfection .
I was thinking the same thing... not so much the sound, but the look. Mufflers weren't 'jewelry' back then. You'd have to open it up and replace the internals, but given the wiper blade story, that doesn't seem excessive.
Regrettably the fitted exhaust is NOTHING like the original Ansa unit that would have been fitted. The shape is totally different and so too is the exhaust path making the use of stainless as a construction material a secondary worry. While I hold a lot of respect for Iain and his team, there is a LOT wrong with this Dino and it is far from being able to score well at a Concours. I am a little surprised to the sheer number of things I see wrong with this car and disappointed that they were not caught. I can assure you this car is miles from the 'World's Best Dino'.
Lovely! Found myself running alongside one of those, one evening about 20 years ago on a deserted Auckland southern motorway. I had my carmine red Mk2 2.5pi so I didn't feel like a complete heathen in his company. PI still has its stainless steel "Aeramic" wiper blades, but the dysfunctional AM-only radio and its single paper speaker had to go. If you like music, you need good sound gear in an older car with a lot of ambient noise!
If ever a section highlights why everyone respects and loves Iain so much it’s ‘wipergate’. We need to protect Iain and other ‘national treasures’ at all costs.
Hubnut fans approve!
What a car ! Ian is a great entertainer, who explains to the highest detail, and 5 mins about wiper blades, pure class
Yet he neglected to mention they should be Arman brand wipers...odd
If you consider the level of atention to detail, wipers are not irrelevant, Mr. Tyrell is a congruent professional...
@@alejandroramirezmartinez3676 Especially considering there were at least THREE different length wiper sets depending on which Dino version and model you had. 4
NOT easy at all!
Always remember that you need to paint the driver and put them inside the cockpit first before assembling the rest of the car.
😆
Excellent lol
No you don't. You paint the pilot before you fit the canopy .😅😅
My all time favorite car ❤❤❤
@@nunyabizniss4087asking for a friend, but…when do you pull the masts and sails up? 😂😂
It’s always been a Ferrari in my eyes. I really love the details you pick out that were missed or taken for granted when the cars were new.
If anyone was in doubt why this garage is the best restores for any classic car, now you know.
Beautiful work Mr Tyrrell.
Have you seen the FerrariChat discussion on the counter point to this argument?
@@devilshaircut9No. Why not enlighten us?
I work as a development engineer/ toolmaker and forty years ago i had it drummed into my head by all of the old boys that taught me, about attention to detail. That advice has stood me in very good stead every day of my working life.

Watching and hearing you explain the restoration is probably as good as driving it. Thanks for the passion, lovely work and care you put into cars. Always a gift to watch these videos.
I was lucky enough to have a drive in one when I was 17 or 18 (1971?) an experience I will NEVER forget. This one is beautiful.
Never in my life would I ever expect to listen to someone explain the smallest detail of a wiper blade. Then, to put into perspective just how important that detail is. No one has matched Ian's ability to capture your intrigue!
Fantastic again… this is art restoration and history conservation. Very important and so nice that you share this with us🙏😊
A very happy New Year to you Iain Tyrrell. I do hope King Charles gives you a Knighthood in the New Year’s Honours List.

You read my mind! I totally agree! If I'm not mistaken I think Mr. Tyrrell has actually worked on King Charles Aston Martin.
What a lovely comment to read 👌
That is a lovely comment indeed- thank you very much!
Hear hear!
Thank you for sharing your incredible talents Iain. Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you too!
I remember seeing one in a garage in Harrogate around 1972. It was £7,000, I had just spent £2850 on my first house! Thank you Iain and a happy NewYear from Wisconsin, USA, I get immense enjoyment from your channel.
Thank you, and Happy New Year and greetings to Wisconsin!
How much is that house worth now?
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u 0:14
No idea what the house would be worth today, I sold it for three times what I paid in 1975 as I moved to the USA.
I really enjoyed reading your comment. The comparison of prices between house and car is stark!
Thanks.
My TOP favorite vintage car. Amazing job you guys !
Absolutely detail matters, even on wiper blades. Fabulous restoration too.
For a Dino they MUST be Arman wiper blades to be OEM.
Odd he did not claim that...
I was born in a small town in western Kansas and, amazingly, one of the local people had one of these Dinos. He'd even participate in the usual Friday/Saturday night cruises up and down our main street, right past my house.
As a youngster in 1968, while going to university, I worked the late shift at JFK for a cargo Airline called Seaboard World. One night one of our stretch DC8's arrived from Europe with a cargo that included three pallets loaded with three Dino's (red, yellow, blue/black). It was dark, I had no idea what they were, but the overhead lights let me see enough to convince me that these might be the most beautiful machines my young self had ever seen. To this day, next to the GTO's and Boxers, I believe the Dino was and is a most magnificent 'Ferrari". It's a pleasure to watch you and your very talented team work your magic. Happy New Year....from NYC.
Thank you. Happy New Year to you too!
Brilliant video as usual , cannot get enough of how Iain gets his point across and informs us how quirky some of these Cars are. More please .
I just found out that Iain and his colleagues work just a few miles away from where I live and cannot believe I’ve driven past their palace of perfection so unwittingly.

Labour of love a work of art!
Years ago, I used to design systems for searching databases of patents. When I made marketing materials and presentations I habitually chose windscreen wiper blades as the example inventions. This was a cunning plan to remind our potential clients of our products whilst they were driving home in the rain. It also helped that wipers had some of the prettiest artwork in the patents.
Windscreen wipers need more coverage, they have remarkable ingenuity and design in them.
Happy New Year to you all and looking forward to seeing more restorations.
They are a delicate little things.
Wipers were invented by Mary Anderson that explains the delicate interesting design 😊
Thanks- happy New Year to you too
Excellent update on the Dino
It is all about the details with these cars. Lucky we have some like you ,Ian and crew, to keep these cars on the road representing their former glory when new.
That paint is amazing!
I admire your attention to detail, also the knowledge you have, that allows you to know what is and is not correct. The car is absolutely stunning, the only thing missing, was hearing the engine running.
Amazing he buys parts from Superformance which offers the correct CAVIS cross carburettor fuel hoses yet Ian chooses to use black rubber hose here. A bit of an odd choice?

I was a 21-year-old visiting Italy in late 1972 and had my heart on renting a Dino from Hertz (yes, Hertz rented Dino's in Rome back then). Cost for a day would have been about a hundred dollars which was a bargain, in my mind, for being given the chance to drive what i thought was the most beautiful car in the world.

Fantastic your knowledge is out of this world
Love the attention to detail
It's the attention to smallest of details, when combined with encyclopedic knowledge (such Mr. Tyrrell's wiper blade obsession) that make the difference between the competent and the truly exceptional... It's an admirable thing to watch, like Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Car or David Grainger from The Guild. Absolute masters, commanding teams of absolute masters, producing the highest quality of work on the most high stakes of historic machines.
They never make it look easy, but you can see where the money goes when commissioning work from shops like that.

But actually even more.... the audio. Years ago I was on a guided bus tour from London to Bath/Stonehenge.The guides spoken english and voice was music to my ears. This gives me the same pleasent feeling.
Having had my share of horrrible bosses, it warms my heart to watch Ians interaction with and praise of his staff.
This IS the way to be and do it.
It is always delightful to see the wrok of people who not only do the job correctly without cutting any corners, but also with passion.
Valeo still make wipers in Issoire France.
Great products.

The details do make the difference. A few years ago I had moved from Toronto to Heidelberg and was in the process of placing an order for a 911.

You tuned me right in with your comment about period correct radios and we are absolutely on the same frequency… I spent ages getting the right radios for my ‘68 Caravelle and ‘77 VW cabrio and correcting the butchery of modern upgrades. My ‘51 Ford still has its (working) valve radio. Great episode, and Happy New Year, looking forward to more in ‘24!
Excellent attention to detail!
Thanks for your continued support, and Very Best to you for 2024!
I love original period radios and can never understand why anyone would want to upgrade them. They are part of the "soul" of the car.
My 1973 Mercedes has its original Becker radio cassette. It all works and suits music of the era.
Glad you mentioned the Blaupunkt radio....they were so far ahead of the game in the late 60s and early 70s..They had FM and also a tape feed in the rear which you can easily feed in as MP3 feed...so ideal for today..50+s years later...and look great...
Thann be la for sharing this video update Iain. Regarding the factory stereo, I would want the original as well, at all costs. Totally agree with the owner.🙏🏻🏁
Beautiful job. I'd be frightened to drive it.
My dream remains to someday be responsible for a Dino with the help of Ian. In the meantime, this was a lovely way to celebrate 2023. Thanks
Iain, another thoroughly enjoyable video. Just fascinating. Thanks for posting! Dennis
This is amazing concours level restoration, Iain. You and your team did a stellar job. Is the owner planning on showing it? Can't imagine he/she will be taking it on cross continent trip, or even local Cars and Coffee. Many times nicer than when it left the factory floor.
it would be a shame if it wasnt driven, needs to be more thank looked at
@@spongebobsquaretits I agree.
Wonderful as usual.
Thanks
What a surprise today. I thought I was one day off. Great restoration. That owner must be very happy.
lovely job well done guys, still have original wiper blades on my 91 plate 348 because it never goes out in the wet
If there will ever be a time I can afford such a wonderful classic car, this would be the only place I would trust it to. Thanks for yet another amazing film to sooth our souls.
This might be World Best Dino now. The decison is very hard to begin to use it, especially in an environment like northern Europe. Congratulations, a gigantic success.A small question mark is for me the sound of those stainless exhausts, that NEVER sound like the originals.I wonder why nobody redoes them in the original metal, coated to perfection .
I was thinking the same thing... not so much the sound, but the look. Mufflers weren't 'jewelry' back then. You'd have to open it up and replace the internals, but given the wiper blade story, that doesn't seem excessive.
I agree, i wouldn't fit stainless steel. Surely the Ansa exhausts are still available.
It will definitely sound different
in the worst case, make it be copied in the original steel, I guess it would rather not be more expensive than this bling bling in stainless
Regrettably the fitted exhaust is NOTHING like the original Ansa unit that would have been fitted. The shape is totally different and so too is the exhaust path making the use of stainless as a construction material a secondary worry. While I hold a lot of respect for Iain and his team, there is a LOT wrong with this Dino and it is far from being able to score well at a Concours. I am a little surprised to the sheer number of things I see wrong with this car and disappointed that they were not caught. I can assure you this car is miles from the 'World's Best Dino'.
Stunning work, your team must be so proud. Thanks again Iain for doing these videos 😊
With all that wiper detail I thought I was watching a HubNut video!
Lovely! Found myself running alongside one of those, one evening about 20 years ago on a deserted Auckland southern motorway. I had my carmine red Mk2 2.5pi so I didn't feel like a complete heathen in his company.
PI still has its stainless steel "Aeramic" wiper blades, but the dysfunctional AM-only radio and its single paper speaker had to go. If you like music, you need good sound gear in an older car with a lot of ambient noise!
